Pull EFI changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:
- arm64 efi stub fixes, preservation of FP/SIMD registers across
firmware calls, and conversion of the EFI stub code into a static
library - Ard Biesheuvel
- Xen EFI support - Daniel Kiper
- Support for autoloading the efivars driver - Lee, Chun-Yi
- Use the PE/COFF headers in the x86 EFI boot stub to request that
the stub be loaded with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN alignment - Michael
Brown
- Consolidate all the x86 EFI quirks into one file - Saurabh Tangri
- Additional error logging in x86 EFI boot stub - Ulf Winkelvos

This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations
from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to
building shared code as a static library.
The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which
uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is
linked into the decompressor.
In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library
is linked into the kernel proper as well.
